Earthquakes in London, a play by Mike Bartlett, will be performed at the Grosvenor East theatre, Manchester Metropolitan University on 18 March 2027. The production explores themes of fear, family, and environmental concerns through a fast-paced narrative that spans from 1968 to 2525. Tickets are priced at £5.00, and student ID will be required for student tickets.
Earthquakes in London hurtles from 1968 to 2525 in a wild, high‑voltage sweep through collapsing futures and over‑heated presents. Mike Bartlett’s explosive play smashes together burlesque mayhem, apocalyptic visions, social free fall, and a world spiralling into paranoia, all at breakneck speed.
Hailed as “the theatrical equivalent of a thrilling roller coaster ride” when it premiered at the National Theatre, the city of London pulses with excess in this high-octane epic about fear, family, and the fragile planet beneath our feet.
*Student ID will need to be presented on arrival when using a student ticket.
*If you have any access needs please book an accesible ticket and we will ensure one of our team will be on hand on the day of the show to assist.
